Frequently Asked Questions
DO YOU CULTIVATE PSYCHEDELIC SPECIES OF FUNGI? MAY I BUY SOME FROM YOU?
At the present moment, mushrooms and other species of fungi which contain psilocybin/psilocin remain a schedule I controlled substance here in the United States. So long as our overlords (in their infinite wisdom) remain keen to forcibly house anyone caught with this nontoxic and often highly beneficial material in cages alongside violent criminals, we must respectfully decline to become involved.
​
The medicinal potential of psychedelic fungi continues to be studied and substantiated, and much time has passed since 1971 when they were made illegal. The 'hippie scare' has come and gone, and perhaps at some point in our lifetimes we will see ourselves mature enough as a society to finally stop fear mongering & telling ghost stories about this sort of thing.
​
So to answer your question: Absolutely Not. For now.
I AM ATTEMPTING TO CULTIVATE PSYCHEDELIC FUNGI; CAN YOU TROUBLESHOOT MY PROJECT/HELP/GUIDE ME/ETCETERA?
Again, we respectfully decline. We would no sooner do that than we would aid or abet you to produce any other substance punishable by law. At the end of the day, we are a business--it doesn't make sense for us to spend time discussing that which we are not involved in, especially when it may be potentially illegal for us to do so. We will not sell any products whatsoever for this purpose.
​
We hear that The Psilocybin Mushroom Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing and Using Magic Mushrooms written by Virginia Haze and Dr. K Mandrake, PhD is a good resource, however.
D0 YOU SELL SPORES?
No, sorry. We do not sell spores of any kind.
DO YOU SUPPLY CHEFS/RESTAURANTS? DO YOU OFFER WHOLESALE PRICING FOR BULK QUANTITIES?
Yes absolutely. We supply several chefs and restaurants including the Cabarrus Country Club. Please contact us.
​
I WOULD LIKE TO ORDER FRESH MUSHROOMS AND HAVE THEM SHIPPED, CAN YOU DO THAT?
Unfortunately, this is yet another case of "just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be"--we found out the hard way! We can ship them dried, but shipping fresh mushrooms by way of standard shipping is simply not a viable means of conveying to our customers the kind of quality that we strive to deliver. Overnight or same day shipping is probably a viable option, but not one that we offer openly. If cost is not an issue for you and you'd like to take a gamble, by all means please reach out and we will accommodate you to the best of our ability. We assume no liability for spoiled or damage product.
​
Seriously--just come see us at the farm or market!
DO YOU EVER USE ANY CHEMICALS IN YOUR MUSHROOM CULIVATION PROCESS AND IF SO, WHAT?
Absolutely not. At no point in our process do we introduce any chemicals or spray our mushrooms with anything... ever. All of the practices which we employ are the very same required to obtain organic certification, however we are not USDA Certified Organic. We treat all of our substrates with steam only.
​
Some methods of mushroom cultivation DO require the use of chemicals... We will never use those methods.
I WANT TO GROW MY OWN GOURMET MUSHROOMS. CAN YOU HELP ME?
Certainly. We offer an ever-expanding range of products to help you grow your own gourmet mushrooms from start to finish including cultures, spawn, sterile grain & substrate bags ready to inoculate, fully colonized fruiting blocks ('Grow Kits') that are ready to fruit and only require regular misting... No matter your skill level or which stage of the process you wish to start from, we can help every step of the way.
